May Peace Prevail On Earth Lyrics

Throughout the limitless reaches of the universe, the only two constants are chaos and life.

On one of the outermost limbs of the galaxy designated the Milky Way
There is a small solar system with a G-type star at its center.

On the third planet from this star,
Due to the result of a combination of chemicals raised to consciousness,
There is a sentient species that has arrived at the moment of crucial decision.
Where harmony and acceptance insure life.
And greed and fear insure death.
What most of them don't realize, is that the only difference it makes is to them.

May peace prevail on earth
May peace be in our homes and countries
In these troubled times we live in
We will see the dark come light, oh
May peace prevail on earth tonight
In our lives.

May our missions be accomplished
May our deeds be won with joy
And we will thank the guardian deities
Thank the guardian spirit force, oh
May the ship of peace be on her course
Toward all shores.

And the sages make their statements
And the statesmen have their say
And we will learn that wisdom comes
From mistakes we've made upon the way, oh
May peace be here to stay
In our day.

We are gathered here for freedom
We are gathered here in might
To show our children the solutions
That come from peace and why it's right, oh
May peace prevail on Earth tonight
In our lives.

And the distant mountains beckon
And the skies will heed our cry
And space awaits the joy of mankind
As we ask the reasons why, oh
Yet peace is not so high
It lies inside.

Of every being there is vision
Each man and woman has a voice
If we can work together in harmony
We bring peace out from it's source, oh
Let all of us rejoice
And raise our voice.

For war is not the answer
It is not the strongest force
It's love that binds us all together
And guides the shape of histories course, oh
Let all of us rejoice
And raise our voice.

May peace prevail on earth
May peace be in our homes and countries
In these troubled times we live in
We will see the dark come light, oh
May peace prevail on earth tonight
In our lives
